Description of the problem	I had just pulled out of my driveway, pushed on the gas, and the car started sputtering and jerking and came to a stop. The "wrench" light and "check engine" light were lit up on the dash. Thinking perhaps just a fluke, i turned the car off for a few minutes, then turned it back on and let it idle for a minute. The wrench and engine light were no longer displayed, so i drove again. My max speed was maybe 15 or 20 mph. Not 30 seconds later, the car again did the same thing, with the wrench and engine lights coming on. Luckily i was at a stop sign and in a residential neighborhood. I turned the car off again, and drove back home this time. It was really scary. Luckily i wasn't driving on the interstate at a high rate of speed! Definitely a safety issue here! A friend of mine with a computer diagnostic thing, came over and tested the car about an hour later. The error code was throttle actuator control system. My friend cleared out the code and i was able to drive it around the block without it happening again. I plan on taking it to the dealership tomorrow. According to these similar complaints, it appears to be the throttle body and not a cheap fix!
